@TJH1985:

What!? ALL of that when drunk? What did SWIMBO say?

Had to laugh at that 1st pic, almost could have been taken in my garage
Well, drunken logic dictates that a reel HAS to follow a compressor purchase

The lift was clearly a DP, since you can’t even use it for the FFRR?  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

Not sure where I’m going to hide this. “I thought we’d agreed you weren’t buying one” - “oh, I thought we’d agreed that I WOULD be buying one”.
At least I didn’t win the AMG 6.3 money pit version 😬

I day dream about these things, and then have a bit to drink and think “heck why not, it’s a great idea”

The L405 fits on it nicely, just not in the garage! It can lift 3.5T and picks up the lift points nicely. I’ll grab a photo next time it’s on it!

@TJH1985:

You can just blame it on us all here at fullfatrr, taunting you mercilessly if you didn’t buy

Somewhere on t’interweb, there’ll be a graph showing “cost of purchase vs fear of SWIMBO vs amount of alcohol required to be consumed vs likelihood of buying vs likelihood of divorce”.

Always stay just below the red line, and you’ll be fine  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

Yeah but it's always easier to gain forgiveness than it is permission.

This is it at the moment. I stripped everything and sand blasted and powder coated it as it was pretty rusty. Just starting to put it together again.

Looks like a decent ramp that mate. Any chance of a link so I can justify it to myself after a few drinks haha

Was looking at a vectra vxr last night for some reason 🤔

#2, looks a good bit of kit!

Ditto, I had missed your last post TJH1985, a link would be good, how easy is it to move in & out the garage by oneself? “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

Just been to the garage to see how much space there would be to store the ramp that TJH1985 has, thinking 'That would be perfect BUT........ there is no space left, after my daughter had her own 'E-bay when drinking' experience there is not enough space due to the bleedin running machine, rowing machine, free weights and other 'get fit' paraphenalia ( it took two delivery guys and myself to lift the running machine out of the back of a truck ) Guess who had to assemble the damn thing.

TJH1985 - Please post a link for the ramp, it will add to my misery.it would be sooooo useful

Bean, if you start selling stuff on Ebay, the list is going to be bloody impressive
As you were looking at a Vectra VXR, I dare you to start looking at the various Holden models, that could be very interesting

Sorry guys! I should have purchased one 10+ years ago though absolute game changer.

Here’s a link, I suggest waiting until you’ve had a few.

I have the mobility kit and can move it around on level ish ground myself easy enough, it take’s a little bit of a run up to get it over the rubber hump on the way into the garage but otherwise it’s fine and I have cheap Halfords mats down in the garage which don’t help.

Oh and another pic to wet the appetite:

Just been outbid on this:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314374598032?mk...media=COPY

Thing is I don’t remember bidding on it, I remember looking at them and having a few beers but appeared to have bid £700😳😂👍

I’ll class this as a nearly…. L322 TD6 2003
Epsom Green- the dogs car which has worked it’s way into being the family car 😮

Sorry @Slow Progress, you have a £10 fine in your inbox……

“Drunk Purchases” have to be exactly that, otherwise invalid.

C’mon all, there is NOT ENOUGH ACTIVITY on this thread! What on earth is the matter with you all? Fear of SWIMBO finding out your little foibles? So come on, pour yourself a glass or three, and get shopping!

Currently, I’m looking at a £500 Nilfisk pressure washer, think I need another drink….. it would be so useful, surely she’ll see reason?  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?
